Description
What kind of wine it is
Bianco di Ciccio Tralcetto by Cantina Zaccagnini is a still white wine from Abruzzo that embodies the renowned Trebbiano d’Abruzzo denomination. This harmonious blend combines Bombino Bianco, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays a pale yellow colour with greenish highlights. The bouquet is fragrant and delicate, characterised by notes of pear and lemon zest, accompanied by subtle hints of dried fruit. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, with a lively acidity that imparts a pleasant freshness, preserved thanks to maturation in stainless steel.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Bolognano, where Zaccagnini cultivates the vineyards using pergola and espalier systems. The hilly terrain encourages optimal ripening, ideal for producing a wine with a youthful and vibrant profile. The medium-textured clay soils provide ideal support for the vines, profoundly influencing the character of the wine. This particular soil composition ensures a distinctive flavour profile, guaranteeing a constant balance between immediate freshness and the natural savouriness typical of the Abruzzo hills.
How it is produced
The production process begins with destemming and gentle pressing, followed by cryomaceration and vacuum pressing to extract the free-run must. After clarification, the must undergoes low-temperature fermentation for ten days, preserving the aromatic integrity of the varieties. The cycle concludes with maturation in stainless steel and subsequent bottle ageing. Constant temperature control ensures a clean taste, defined by pronounced freshness and a long citrusy persistence.
